Problems with Java and Web Browsers

• Current Java limitations - security restrictions may prevent Flicker running in your Web browser from reading:
  1. Local files
  2. URLs from other web sites

• Solutions:
  1. Java programs can run as stand-alone Java "applications" without these security restrictions
  2. Use indirect image fetching by NCI Flicker server to get image

• Java interpreter is slow but getting faster

• Image processing uses a lot of memory and compute power, but machines are getting larger and faster
